Get return value from evt.post

[iShawnWang]

Any idea about get return value or complete callback after evt.post

Hi,
As of now evt.post return post count... But I don't recall ever using the return value...
I am open to breaking changes, could you describe your use case and maybe make a suggestion on how to change the API?

@iShawnWang Would you please explain what you mean by "complete callback"?

[iShawnWang]

I am not sure if this meet the design principle of evt, maybe this meet my needs :

myEvt.post(params).then(returnValue => {
    // other logic
})

The postCount returnValue seems useless

Awesome library by the way ~

I was thinking about something like that.
When would you expect the then callback to be invoked? When all handlers have been called?
What would you want the retrunValue to be? The params ?

Agreed

Wow, things seems more complex than i think !, I didn't take multiple subscriber into account.
In my opinion, the returnValue shuold be the value returned in the evt.attach.
If there are multiple evt.attch for the same event, may be we can reference the design principle of webpack tappable

Ok, this is food for thought, I will investigate.
Thanks @iShawnWang
